No ticket matched all six Powerball numbers in Wednesday night's drawing, pushing the estimated jackpot to $760 million. The numbers drawn were 11, 13, 16, 47, 60, with Powerball 13.
A jackpot winner in the next drawing can choose a lump-sum cash payment valued at $326 million instead of the annuity. The prize has grown since Aug. 12, when a ticket purchased in Illinois took $1.04 billion. The current figure ranks as the third-largest prize of 2026.
Powerball is played on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. The next drawing is scheduled for Oct. 31 at 10:59 p.m. EDT, and it will stream live on the Powerball website. Tickets cost $2 per play. Lottery officials put the odds of hitting the jackpot at 1 in 292.2 million.
The record Powerball prize stands at $2.04 billion, claimed by a California ticket in 2022. Other top prizes include $1.817 billion drawn Dec. 24, 2025 in Arkansas; $1.787 billion on Sept. 6, 2025 across Missouri and Texas; $1.765 billion on Oct. 11, 2023 in California; and $1.586 billion on Jan. 13, 2016, split among tickets in California, Florida and Tennessee.
Rounding out the largest jackpots: $1.326 billion on April 6, 2024 in Oregon, $1.08 billion on July 19, 2023 in California, $1.040 billion on Aug. 12, 2026 in Illinois, $842.4 million on Jan. 1, 2024 in Michigan, and $768.4 million on March 27, 2019 in Wisconsin.
